Dystopian February has come to an end. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I read 20 books this month (1 was for my book club, so has not yet been reviewed) which counts as my most successful reading month since I started book blogging 2 years ago.

Just for clarification, the Zombie Chicken rating system is ONLY for dystopian fiction, and shows how I would rate the novel within the genre. If a book receives a 5 rating, it means I think you should read it before a 4, a 4 before a 3, and so on. A book I give a 3 here, might very well receive a 4 on my GoodReads account when compared to all other genres, so these aren't strictly quality ratings. Here's an overview of what I rated this month (sorry about the spacing issues, I am having soooooooooooo much trouble with it lately - please debug blogspot Google!):

Since I had so much fun, I may do it again next February. Or maybe even in 6 months...how does Dystopian August sound?! Thanks to everyone who contributed and commented to make this such a successful theme month.

I have had such a good time reading your posts this month, and I am excited that you will be doing it again in August!! I have come across so many new titles that I probably would have never found on my own, and your reviews have been wonderful!

I loved your dystopian month, Lenore! It was so much fun to discover all those great books with you. It went by so, so fast - too fast if you want my opinion! Dystopian August sounds great to me (especially since Mockingjay will come out of the hiding room at that time!)

Wow, Dystopian February flew by way too quickly! Congrats on such a successful month, not only in quantity but also in quality. It looks like you read some really great books in February. And Dystopian August sounds like a fantastic idea!
